Oct. 29 - Nov. 2

I can't believe I just typed Nov in the title of this post... Time flies when we are having so much fun in Grade 2.
Just a few notes about next week:
-Picture orders are due back on Monday. Please send in the forms if you wish to order pictures.
-Library on Monday. Bring back your books if you wish to exchange them for new ones.
-Picture retakes are on Tuesday afternoon. If you want your child to get retakes, please send me a note or email to let me know. In the past I have had students who weren't sure and it was a bit confusing. I would like to have a list of who to send to the library to get their picture taken. Thanks for your help with this.
-Halloween on Wednesday. We talked briefly in class about costumes for this day. As in previous years at EVS, we will wear our costumes for the afternoon only. Please do not send students in costumes that depict violence (no weapons), or are too gruesome. Thanks again for your support with this. Look for a note home from me on Monday for our plans for that afternoon.
-Thursday is Hot Lunch and Spirit Day. Students are invited to wear glasses, moustaches and ties to school.
-Dictee on Friday. Next week we will be looking at the 2 different sounds that c can make. Hard c, like k when it is followed by a, o or u, and soft c, like s, when it is followed by e or i. The bonus words are special cases. When we want c to say the same as s, but it is followed by a, o or u, we have to give it a cedille.

l’écorce

le ciel

les escaliers

une sorcière

un costume

Bonus : un garçon

Bonus : le français

As with this week, I am looking for students to have the letters in bold correct when spelling these words.

Have a great weekend!
